Inspired by a desire to not carry a purse to concerts, but, at the same time, not having pockets big enough for phone, keys, or an ID card, the Lexis Holster Bag was born! A modern version of the fanny pack, this awesome bag is a stylish alternative to hands-free bags and the perfect option for outdoor events or activities (hello bikers and horseback riders) where carrying a heavy bag is inconvenient.

This design features a deep front cargo pocket and a smaller zippered back pocket, so you’ll have plenty of room to carry all of your essentials. Adjustable/removable hip and leg straps make this little bag customizable for all sizes. Dress it up or dress it down! It can be styled and decorated in endless ways to suit anyone’s tastes.
